All of us have inherent personality traits that are inborn. I like to say were
all preloaded at the factory. Then life tends to enhance or hinder these
natural tendencies within us, making them stronger or weaker in our
personality as we go through life. When it comes to romantic relationships,
there are five personality types that I see over and over that contribute to a
woman (or man) being and STAYING single, or not having as much
fulfillment in love as they could.
Knowing your Relationship Archetype can help you to recognize how you,
in fact, participate in your romantic results. You see, your archetype has
everything to do with how you interact with and respond to others, see
relationships, and experience dating and mating in general.
Having this ability to see this about yourself is extremely helpful in
understanding what you need to do about it to change your life, and helps to
take the blame and shame out of the situation. Instead of blaming yourself
for being sensitive, or a homebody, or a career woman, for example, you can
see that this is a big part of your emotional wiring, and therefore your
DESTINY, to be this way.
Its common to relate to more than one of the five archetypes. Some of them
naturally go together, as youll see.
Many people also tell me that they relate to different archetypes at different
times in their life, depending on their stage of life or life circumstances.
So, dont feel like you have to know which of the five you are to the
exclusion of the others. You may relate to them all. You may feel youre a
mix of two or three. You perhaps were more one of the archetypes in the
past, and are now another because of your age or situation.
Not only that, but you experience different astrological phases that activate
different aspects of your life, enhancing or suppressing your ambition, your
introversion or extroversion, or your desire for a relationship. Sometimes
youre more successful professionally because of this than at other times.
Sometimes youre more into nesting and arent so ambitious as a result.
I find that just by hearing about the archetypes, most people know
INSTANTLY which ones are part of their personality, and which one or ones
are dominant. They dont need to understand the astrological aspect of it to
understand who they are. But a great gift of astrology is what I already said
it takes the blame and shame out of the situation, allowing you to be
more of a witness to yourself, giving you emotional distance on things,
helping you to do what you need to do to shift your life for the better.
So, without further ado, the archetypes...
The Lady In The Tower, a.k.a. The Best Kept Secret in Town
This woman REALLY likes her alone time. If this is you, you love
being by yourself, though you think you want a relationship. Youve usually
been very hurt in the past, which made you GO INTO the tower in the first
place (which we all need to do after a heartbreak and is healthy) but then
you STAYED THERE too long, and got too cozy. Sometimes many years
even over a decade pass.
What shes afraid of... If this is you, youre afraid if you venture out,
youll lose your tranquility, or get hurt again. Youre busy with your work
and the rest of your life (you may be divorced and raising kids by yourself)
and you dont want to sacrifice your cherished time. Youre afraid of losing
the hard-won fulfillment youve got. You LOVE your tower...
What she needs to do... The lady in the tower needs to decide if she
really wants a full relationship, and she needs to recognize shes getting big
PAYOFFS from being alone. If this is you, you get lots of sympathy, its just
easier, no ones telling you what to do, you can make your own goals your
focus, you dont have to compromise anything, etc...
You need to figure out what it would take to be WORTH giving up those
payoffs... If you decide that the payoffs of being with someone would be
better than those of being alone, then you need to COME OUT OF THE
TOWER. Do so first with friendships with other women, or joining groups
dedicated to things you love in which dating or relationships can happen
organically. You need to recognize that you dont have to LOSE the things
you love to have a relationship. But you DO need to make some effort.
The kind of man she needs... A healthy man that is worth coming out of
the tower for who will add to her life, and share in her tranquility not
cause her any drama, insecurity, or pain. (Which would only make her go
right back into the tower...)
The Career Woman
If this is you, youve been busy getting your degree, or building
your business, or climbing the company ladder. You work INTENSE
hours, and your priority is your career, though you SAY you want a
relationship. When you do date, you tend to think and talk about work a lot.
You collapse on Friday nights at home, thinking you dont have time to date
because of your job.
The problem? 70% of career women that never marry or have
children later regret it...
Studies of women the WORLD OVER say the thing that makes
them the happiest is MOTHERHOOD...
What shes afraid of... If this is you, perhaps you saw your mother
dependent on your father OR you were once dependent on a man and he let
you down. Or growing up, you were rewarded for your performance and
achievements, more than for WHO YOU WERE as a person. You grew up
wanting to be like dear old Dad... Or like any of the archetypes, you may
just be terrified of intimacy and keep yourself busy, busy, busy to avoid it.
What she needs to do... If this is you, get honest with yourself about
whether or not you want a relationship as well as a career. And then MAKE
THE SPACE and the time for it. Women who end up married but also have
BIG CAREERS make their personal lives a priority, and say a career woman
that claims she cant find love because of her career is lying to herself that
its a COP OUT. These women still managed to be women on a mission.
Give it the energy - make yourself CEO and PRESIDENT of your personal
life. And then find a man who celebrates your career and is proud of you.
You can have both, you just have to be committed to both.
The kind of man she needs... A man who celebrates and supports her
career, isnt threatened by it, and appreciates her accomplishments and
ambition. He may or may not have a big career himself.
A side note about the career woman. Women with careers and
college or even upper graduate educations are actually MORE
LIKELY to marry than women who are less educated, and less
successful. This is a first in history - not the case even just thirty years ago.
Men are no longer marrying down. Executives are no longer marrying
secretaries, theyre marrying other executives. The higher your income,
the higher your chance of marrying, the less your chance of
divorcing, and the higher women report being happy in
marriage. So have a career just dont let it be YOUR WHOLE LIFE if you
also want to marry.
The Masculine Woman
This is a woman whose inborn nature is more masculine than
feminine. If this is you, youll EMOTIONALLY have classic alpha
If youre this woman you typically had a tough childhood you didnt get
enough attention, affection, and love from your parents or see enough
BETWEEN your parents, or both. The work of Harville Hendrix, author
of Getting The Love You Want and Keeping The Love You Find and founder
of Imago therapy has excellent resources for this that you can find
atwww.gettingtheloveyouwant.com.
What shes afraid of... Deep down, if this is you, youre afraid youre
unlovable. And youre afraid of getting hurt. Ultimately, youre in a battle
with your own ego so youre also afraid of losing. Youre desperately trying
to PROVE to yourself that youre lovable, that you can GET HIM to love you
the guy is almost incidental.
What she needs to do... This archetype needs the most help. Because
this is so DEEP-SEATED, and UNCONSCIOUS, if this is you, you need
ongoing therapy, REPROGRAMMING, and/or hypnosis. Theres an
excellent kind of therapy called EMDR which Ive seen be truly miraculous.
(Which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and
works like magic to help release traumatic memories, change behavior
patterns, and overcome addictive and compulsive behaviors.) Theres a
book on it called EMDR The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming
Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma by Francine Shapiro.
Im also a huge fan of subliminal CDs and highly recommend one for
changing your subconscious beliefs called Attract Love by Kelly Howell
at www.brainsync.com.
If you find youre WORKING WAY TOO HARD in a relationship,
STOP and GET SUPPORT.
Again, if you have numerous indicators for more than one of the archetypes
it isnt cause for alarm... Even if you have some of the traits of all of them,
you can easily end up happily married.
I, myself, have indicators for ALL of them, and I was married to my dream
man at thirty. But the one that I have the most indicators for is, in fact, the
one that fits me the best, and the one that I have the second most indicators
for fits me the second best. Thats how it should work for you. (Can you
guess? Thats right Im the Career Woman and boy, am I! And my
secondary archetype is that of the Highly Sensitive Woman and while I
relate to some of the qualities, its not truly my archetype as I dont have the
majority of them...)
So, if youre confused as to which archetype fits you best, its generally the
one that you have the MOST astrological indicators for. You may have one
or two of the indicators of all of them, and some of the tendencies in your
personality as a result but its the archetype you have multiple astrological
indicators for thats typically the most present in your personality, and
having the biggest impact on your romantic life (or lack thereof...).
Remember, with awareness you can break out of your archetype. The
whole purpose of looking this up and going through this process is to allow
you to know what to do to shift out of your unconscious patterns and
consciously create what you want. I believe and KNOW that you can.
Timing is a factor...
Many women also tell me they relate to different archetypes at different
times in their life, depending on their stage of life or life circumstances.
So dont feel like you have to know which of the five you are to the exclusion
of the others. You may relate to them all. You may feel youre a mix of two
or three. You perhaps were more one of the archetypes in the past, and are
now another because of your age or situation.
Not only that, but you experience different astrological phases that activate
different aspects of your life, enhancing or suppressing your ambition, your
introversion or extroversion, or your desire for a relationship.
birth time hell get suspicious that you want to run his astrology chart,
because you do! So, theres a simple trick you can try...
You can say, I heard that if youre born in the morning it makes you a
morning person, but if youre born at night it makes you a night person.
Have you noticed thats true? (This is just a trick to get him to tell you what
time he was born theres nothing to it, so dont use this to guess his birth
time...)
If a man knows what time he was born (and surprisingly many do!) hell
offer it up. Hell say something like, Hmmm... thats funny, I was born just
after 6 a.m. but I hate mornings! Or, I dont know I was born at
midnight.
If he says, I have no idea what time I was born... then see if you can find
out from his mother by having her look for a copy of his birth certificate
or written down in his baby book. (Again, mothers memories about this are
unreliable...)
The chart is divided into twelve houses (see the little numbers in each of the
sections of the chart those are the houses numbered from 1 through 12,
and in this North Indian format theyre always in the same places with
house #1 at the center of the top, going around the chart in a counterclockwise direction).
In the chart the signs are abbreviated to just two letters of each sign Ar
is for Aries, Ta is for Taurus, Ge for is Gemini, etc. The planets are also
abbreviated to two letters, and placed in whatever house and sign they fall
into Su is the Sun, Mo is the Moon, Me is Mercury, etc. (some of
them may have an R beside them, which can stands for retrograde and
changes from chart to chart, and can be ignored for our purposes...):

Beneath the chart graphics on the chart creator page youll see a graph
marked Planetary Details full of information. This graph explains what
the chart is saying giving the Ascendant (also known as rising sign or
first house and indicated by the #1 at the top of the chart in the middle) and
all planetary positions, their degree (mathematical position in the sign not
necessary for this program), sign (known as rasi in Vedic astrology), and
sub-sign (also known as nakshatra - were not using nakshatras in this
program).
So, to discover what sign a planet is in look to the Planetary Details box
and look for that planet in the column on the left. In the first column to the
right of that youll see what degree that planet is located in (you dont need
that information for this program). Then, in the third column to the right,
youll see what sign its in. Thats all you need to know.
To discover what house a planet is in, look to the chart itself and find the
section of the chart the abbreviation for that planet is in. Then see what
number is there 1 through 12, going in a counter-clockwise direction.
Thats the house number.
House Numbers

Signs
Planetary rulerships...
One slightly more advanced thing youll need to know is what are called
Planetary Rulerships. Every sign has a planet thats given rulership or
lordship over that sign meaning it has influence over that sign, and it
lends its qualities to that sign.
The rulers of the signs are:
Aries Mars
Taurus Venus
Gemini Mercury
Cancer Moon
Leo Sun
Virgo Mercury
Libra Venus
Scorpio Mars
Sagittarius Jupiter
Capricorn Saturn
Aquarius Saturn
Pisces Jupiter
A significant thing to understand when reading charts is how different parts
of the chart (those houses again) connect to one another. This is done
through looking at the rulerships of the signs.
Lets do an example so you can follow along with the instructions below...
(This is as astrologically complicated as well get its easy with practice, so
dont get nervous...)
If I say, Check to see if the ruler of the 7th house is in the 8th house, OR the
ruler of the 8th house is in the 7th. Go to the chart. Find the 7th house by
looking for the section of the chart with #7 in it. See what sign is there. If its
Aquarius (Aq), notice that the ruler of Aquarius is Saturn (Sa). Thus, the
ruler of the 7th house is Saturn. Then, look for Saturn in the chart. If its not
in the 8th house (the section of the chart with #8 in it), then that chart does
not have this indicator. If it is in the 8th house, then it does.
Next, look at the 8th house of the same chart (the section of the chart with
#8). Since Aquarius was the sign in the 7th house (Aq), we see that Pisces
is the sign in the 8th house (Pi). From the list above, find that Pisces is
ruled by Jupiter. Look for Jupiter in the chart (Ju). If its not in the 7th
house (the section of the chart with #7 in it) the chart does not have this
particular indicator. If Jupiter IS in the 7th house, then this chart has a
connection between the 8th and 7th houses, so reflects the given description
of what that means.
Lets do another example:
If I say, Look to see if the ruler of the 1st house is in the 10th house, OR the
ruler of the 10th house is in the 1st, heres what you do.
Lets say the chart has Cancer rising (Cn in the house with #1 in it). We
see from the list of rulerships above that Cancer is ruled by the Moon
(Mo). We then look to see where the Moon is in the chart (finding the
number in the section of the chart that has Mo in it). If its not in Aries
(Ar), then its not in the 10th house (the section of the chart with #10 in
it), as thats the sign of the 10th house in a chart with Cancer as the rising
sign. If it is in Aries (Ar), then it is in the 10th house (the section of the
chart with #10 in it) and the description of what that means applies.
Then we look to see if theres a connection from the 10th house to the 1st. So
you look to the 10th house (the section of the chart with #10) Aries (Ar)
and you see that its ruled by Mars in the list above (Ma). Then you
check to see if Mars is in the 1st house of the chart (Ma in the box with #1
at the top and center of the chart). If its not, then this description does not
apply. If it is, then it does.
By the way, any time I say to check if two houses connect in these ways
from the 1st to the 10th OR the 10th to the 1st , or the 7th to the 8th OR the
8th to the 7th, for example you only need to have ONE of these apply for
the indicator to be valid. You dont need BOTH the ruler of the 1st house to
be found in the 10th house AND the ruler of the 10th to be in the 1st
though if that does occur it will make whatever is described seem even
stronger about the person.
Whew... still with me?
Most of the planets being between the 1st and 7th houses (other than Rahu
and Ketu) makes for introversion, though theyre not as independent as the
last example. (See graphic 2.)
Planets such as the Sun and/or Moon in the 12th house or 12th sign (Pisces)
makes the person need a lot of alone time. (See graphic 3.)
Also, if the ruler of the 1st house of the chart is in the 12th house, and/ or
if the ruler of the 12th house of the chart is in the 1st house, the person will
tend to isolate. (See rulership table above.) (See graphic 4.)
Saturn in the 1st house makes a person a late-bloomer in love (more likely
to marry in the thirties or beyond), and indicates that theyll tend to spend a
lot of time alone. (See graphic 5.)
Saturn in the same sign as the Sun or Moon also makes a person spend a lot
of time alone. (Check Planetary Details box on the page of the chart in
question to determine this.)
If theres a connection between the 1st house and 10th house (the ruler of
the 1st house falls in the 10th house and/or the ruler of the 10th house
falls in the first house). (See sign rulership list above.) (See graphic 7.)
Most or all of the planets other than Rahu or Ketu between the 7th and 10th
house inclines a person to be constantly productive, efficient, and effective.
They can have a hard time relaxing and enjoying themselves, so socializing
or connecting in relationships can feel like an indulgent waste of time. Even
on days off they pack their schedule with a long to-do list. This
combination is very good for career success not as good for relationships.
(See graphic 8.)
Feminine
Signs:
Taurus
Cancer
Virgo
Scorpio
Capricorn
Pisces
All of the signs of the zodiac are classified as either masculine or feminine.
Count how many of the planets other than Rahu and Ketu fall into
masculine signs if more are masculine then the person will typically have
more masculine qualities and behaviors than feminine.
Check the Sun, Moon, and rising sign. If more of these are masculine than
feminine the person will be more masculine in their behavior.
In personal relationships, the thing to emphasize is the Moon sign. A
woman with a masculine Moon sign will often be more masculine in her
emotions, and relate to men in this way shell be positive, proactive, and a
woman of action more than a woman of feeling. Shell tend to have a fast
process and like to pursue men or make things happen in every area of her
life.
Conversely, a man with a feminine Moon sign will be more feminine with
his emotions hell be more negative, passive, and a man of feeling more
than a man of action. Hell tend to have a slower process, and can need a
nudge to get him to pursue a woman, or make things happen with her.
Mars and the Sun are the most aggressive, masculine influences. If either
one of these or both are in prominent houses (together or individually) a
woman can seem very masculine. The prominent houses are the 1st, 4th,
7th, and 10th houses. (See graphic 9.)
If the Sun or Moon is in the same sign as Mars, the emotional nature will be
Martial, or masculine.
Rahu or Ketu in the same sign as the Sun or Moon. (See Planetary Details
on the page of the chart in question.)
Rahu or Ketu in the same sign as the ruling planet of the rising sign. (See
rulership table above and then check the Planetary Details on the page
of the chart in question.)
If the Sun and/or Moon are in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses. (See graphic 12.)
If the Moon is in the sign just before the Sun this is the most waning
phase of the Moon and indicates a lack of mothering. Or if the Moon is in
the same sign as the Sun (see Planetary Details on the page of the chart in
question).
The Moon in its weakest sign, its sign of debilitation Scorpio (see
Planetary Details.)
The Sun in its weakest sign, its sign of debilitation Libra. (See Planetary
Details.)
The strength of Venus, the planet of love and sex, has an impact on how
strong or weak the love life is. Venus is weakened in the chart by being in
the 6th or 8th house. (See graphic 13.)
The ruler of the 7th house in the 6th, and/or the ruler of the 6th house in
the 7th. This forms a connection between the house of arguing, adversity,
and conflict with the house of partnership. This can also indicate partnering
with people with health challenges or financial problems. (See graphic 15.)
The ruler of the 12th house in the 7th house and/or the ruler of the 7th
house in the 12th. This forms a connection between the house of loss and
distance with the house of partnership. (See graphic 16.)
Timing is everything...
A last note about the archetypes... Sometimes theres nothing wrong with
you or what youre doing. Even if you relate to any of these archetypes and
have all of the astrological indicators for one, that may not be totally to
blame for your single status. Even if youre the lady in the tower or the
career woman or the masculine woman there could be another, equally
important reason youre still single.
Sometimes, its simply hasnt been your time yet for a full relationship to
come into your life and stick.
It hasnt been your fate to mate - yet.
(Even still, its valuable to know your archetype so that you can be at your
best when the time is right...)
I write in my eBook, Love Is in the Stars that at least half of the population
of the world are what I call, late bloomers in love much better off, and
much likelier to marry after the age of thirty-five (and suffering from
unfulfilling love lives up until that age). Their luck changes just when
theyre starting to freak out and be just sure theyre never going to be
anything but single! So this could be you.
Not only that, its critical that you be in good astrological timing for love and
that you not be in a love blocking cycle. These cycles can be so painful and
so challenging that no matter how much effort you make or how hard you
try, you wont find the one anyway...
These cycles are so powerful and so baffling that Ive created a report letting
you know just when youre being affected by them so you dont think youre
crazy or cursed. Its such a relief to understand whats going on when the
cycle began, when it will end, and what you can do to make the most of
things. Its a thirty-year report called, Cycles of Saturn Charting the Ups
and Downs of Your Life and How to Make the Most of Them.
I tell you this because this may be very important for you. Heres why
theres a woman in the seminar who stood up and said shed met 92 men in
the last twenty months and nothing had gone well with any of them! She
spoke to me after we finished filming and admitted that shed ordered her
Cycles of Saturn report and discovered she was in the middle of one of the
most isolating, lonely, youre not going to meet anyone worth your time
cycles of Saturn possible, and had been for the last year and a half exactly
the period in which shed met all those Mr. Wrongs... and that had
everything to do with why her efforts had been so frustrating.
As I said, sometimes its good to be focusing on yourself and your own goals
and not waste time on your love life. Knowing about these cycles can help
you to plan your time effectively, understand your own personal journey
better, and stay positive about the future. Thats the beauty of turning to the
wisdom of astrology in the first place.
